Nevertheless, we got off to a flying start, when, as meek freshmen, under the guidance of Miss Mildred Webster, class sponsor, we elected the following officers: Ray Stenstrom, president; Jerome Sobolesky, vice-president; Rudy Kalcich, secretary; and Lorraine Stockhaus, treasurer. Then, because we were naturally curious and wanted to know who our classmates were, we held a get-aCQuainted party on January 22, 1943. Many of the boys started their sports careers as freshmen, with Frank Stano getting his first letter in football, and Walter Olson his in track. By the time we were sophomores we had become used tu the hugd1 school building and no longer got lost in the maze of halls. With Miss Birge as class sponsor, we chose the following students to be our officers: Harvey Swanberg, president; Bernard Benzala, vice-president; and Lorraine Stockhaus, secretary - treasurer. This year three of our boys received their letters in football, and nine of them were on the EM basketball squad. In this year, also. Bill Mazurek was elected to the National Athletic Honor Society. In the fall of 1944 we became the lower upper-classmen. Now we could walk the corridors with the biggest of seniors. To lead our Junior Class we chose Bill Seymour as president; David Pudas, vice-president; Beulah Barnes, secretary; and Dorothy Janatis, treasurer. More of the boys played football and basketball and participated in track meets. On March 15, 1945, six juniors were elected to the National Honor Society. To climax the year there was the Junior Prom, with Apple Blossom Time for its theme. Under the able direction of Miss Janet Goudie, class sponsor, the affair wa6 a huge success. In September, 1945, we became what we had wanted to be for four long years---- Seniors. We entered this school year a little more happily, not only because we were seniors, and soon to be through with our school careers, but also because the war, which had started when we were freshmen and had shadowed our three previous years, was over. We were about to go through the first peace-time year of school in four years. Although our class is a peace-time class, we have lost several of our boys to Uncle Sam. Thev are Wilbert Maki, Jack Olson, Donald Kor pela, Marvin Swanson, and John Sokolowsky. Through a system of voting introduced by the Student Council, we elected the following officers: Bill Mazurek, presi- dent; Wilbert Salmi, vice-president; Carol Rock, secretary; and Paul Johnson, treasurer. Early in February, 1946, the class voted in favor of wearing caps and gowns for graduation. This is the first time in the history of the school that a class has worn caps and gowns for graduation. Under the supervision of Miss Jennie Johnson, class sponsor, we seniors on the annual staff turned out this 1946 Hematite. At present the following events lie in the future. In March new members will be inducted into the National Honor Society. In May, under the direction of Miss Jean Goudie, the annual Senior Class play wil be presented at the Ironwood Theater. On Sunday, June 2, Baccalaureate services will be held in the gymnasium. Later on in the week the class will hold its regular senior picnic, probably at Lake Gogebic. Finally, on Friday, June 7, at the close of four perfect years. Commencement exercises will be held.

The result was a stream of discharged service men returning to their hone towns-to the activities from which they were called to fight for the forces of democracy. During the war many of the boys found themselves in the thick of battle; some of them were listed among the wounded Others filled important posts behind the lines or on the home front. Whatever part they played, they have all given a share of their lives to preserve our American ideals. Readjustment to civilian life is not an easy task for these men. Some of them have jobs to return to, others are forced to look for jobs, and many are taking advantage of the G.I. Bill of Rights by going to college, while groups of the younger men are returning to high schools to finish an interrupted education. Luther L.

SILHOUETTE WHAT HAVE WE HERE? Jlffll CLASS OffICtllS Joan Suprenant Secretary Carol Antonian Treasurer CLASS AIM We are almost there—Just one step on the ladder of knowledge and we will be at the top, looking down opon the other classmen. As shy freshmen we entered the Lather L. Wright High School in the fall of '43. We merited the usual adjectives applied to a freshman class- nice and green, bewildered, and deeply interested in all that was going on about us. After we had learned where all our classes were to be held and had adjusted ourselves to our new environment, we elected our class officers. With the help of Miss Westaby, our sponsor, we chose the following students to represent us: Warner Blyckert, presi- dent; William Kellett, vice-president; Dorothy Banda, secretary; and Dolores King, treasurer. During our first year in high school many of the boys were active in sports— especially football. The freshman basketball team had a successful season in their games with the Boosevelt school. In the course of this first year, Tommy Taylor, an active member of our class and one of the highest ranking Boy Scouts, was fatally injured while practicing for the annual circus. He had many good friends among the members of his class, all of whom regretted the accident which took him from our midst. As sophomores, with Miss Ruth Birge as our adviser, we elected as our officers the following people: president; Rodney Pertile; vice-president, Mildred VanHalla; secretary, Marilyn Koivisto; and treasurer, June HJalmquist. By this time we had become well acquainted with the school and its occupants and many members of the class proved to be outstanding. As in our freshman year several of our boys were interested in sports. Rodney Pertile received general congratulations for being the only sophomore boy to make the National Athletic Honor Society. Mary Trezise won honors for our class by placing first in the Upper Peninsula Oratorical Contest. Thi6 year, as lower-upper classmen, we started out by electing as our officers the following: Curtiss Pollari, president; Joan Skud, vicm-president; Joan Surpre-nant, secretary; and Carol Antonino, treasurer. This year has been successful. We have proved to be a great help to our school-and hope to continue to be so-on the football field, the basketball court, and the track. We sponsored a basketball dance and many members of the class participated in various assemblies. In the operetta presented this year Dolores Mollard Curtiss Pollari, and Marvin Rowe were outstanding. As a climax to the year’s activities, with Miss Janet Goudie as our adviser, we had our annual Junior Prom in a Mexican setting. We are all looking forward to our last year, although most of us regret that it will be the last one. We wish to follow in the footsteps of the preceding classes by keeping up the good standards of our school. We all hope to make our senior year a memorable one in all respects. HOME ROOM OFFICERS MR.

Six juniors were elected to the National Honor Society in 1945. They elected the following members as officers: Harvey Swanberg, president; Lorraine Landers, vic -president; Evelyn Helgren, secretary; Helen Holmberg, treasurer; Ray Stenstrom, sergeant-at-arms; and Audrey Nydahl, program chairman. On November 16, the Society sponsored the Jack-Frost Jubilee, the proceeds of which went to the Hematite fund. The home rooms had charge of booths at which one could try his luck at games of skill, get married, send telegrams, and purchase pop and ice cream. On April 12, 1946, eighteen new members were inducted, thirteen of whom were seniors, and five, juniors. Harvey Swanberg served as master of ceremonies. Audrey Nydahl spoke on the meaning of the emblem and colors of theNational Honor Society. The four cardinal principles of the organization were represented by the following members: Scholarship, Ray Stenstrom; Character, Harvey Swanberg; Leadership, Eve- lyn Helgren; and Service Helen Holmberg. Lorraine Landers, the sixth old member , was unable to be present. The National Honor Society is a national organization for high schools. In 1922 the Ironwood chapter, number 110, was organized. Election to this society is based on scholarship, leadership, character, and service. A student must be in the upper third of his class in scholarship to be eligible for election. Not more than fifteen per cent of the senior class and five per cent of the junior class may be chosen as members in any one year. The colors of the society are blue and gold, and the symbol is composed of the keystone and the flaming torch. In our school the procedure in electing new members is, briefly, the following: Teachers are first asked for recommendations. Any teacher may recommend anyone whom he considers eligible. A committee then investigates available records for scholarship and citizenship standings of those nominated. The list of those in the upper third of the class is examined carefully and each person considered as a possible member. A list of candidates thus selected is then presented on a typed ballot at a faculty meeting. At this time any teacher may add the name of any student whom he considers eligible.

The committee again considers the mathema-tical results and weighs other evidence that may affect these results. Those students receiving the highest totals of points are recommended for election. Sometimes several meetings are held before final decisions are made. The qualities considered in addition to scholarship are summarized in the following outline. A. Service 1. Willingness to do committee or staff work. 2 Readiness to show courtesy by assisting visitors, teachers, and students. 3. Willingness to represent school in interclass or inter-school competition. 4. Willingness to render worthwhile service to school and community. B. Leadership 1. Demonstrates leadership in classroom or home room. 2. Demonstrates leadership in promoting school activities. 3. Successfully holds school offices or positions of responsibility. 4. Contributes ideas which improve civic life of the school, 5 Exerts type of leadership which directly influences others for good. C. Character 1. Meets individual pledges and responsibilities promptly to school and teachers. 2 Demonstrates highest standards of attitude toward honesty and reliability. 3. Consistently demonstrates desirable qualities of personality (cheerfulness, friendliness, neatness, poise, stability). 4. Cooperates by complying with school regulations (follows regulations concerning books, property, programs, office, halls, lockers). 5. Upholds principles of morality and ethics. fHTS3 J-rT10 8r,TFred GUrry Brlck:80n 30,1 pertUe, Hike Rondeau.

Mr. Nick Rajkovich is the faculty adviser. All class presidents are members. The main body is composed of a girl and a boy representative from each class. The Student Council is the student govern ing body of the school. Any class may speak fcritself throu iits representatives. This year 8 council was a very active body. It was first decided that meetings be held every other Tuesday, but later, when more projects were undertaken, the group met every Tuesday, and sometimes more often. Last year s council began the task of making surveys of clubs and prospective clubs in the school. As this Job was left unfinished, it was the first projectof the present council. The council sought to instill student interest in clubs. As a result new clubs were organized and membership in old ones was increased. The matter of assemblies came up next. Students felt that not enough assemblies were given during the course of the school year; therefore, the Student Council set to work to see what they could do about this. A committee was picked to set dates on which the various clubs of the school were to present programs. In order to get the ball rolling the council presented the first assembly, a talent show. Then when the ever-alert representatives notfeed how the halls were cluttered with coke, chocolate milk, and milk bottles, they started a successful campaignto keep our halls clean. For a long ti e the activity fund had been a mystery tomoet of the students, but not after the Student Council invited Mr. Erickson to one of its meetings to explain the fund. The basketball tournament held in Ironwood was next in line for the group. The housing survey, entertainment, and other phases of the affair were supervised by the different members. At this writing there still remain several things to be done to round out a very successful year.

Our club stands for the high purposes and high ideals of young Christian men. There are many reasons why schools such as ours should have a Hi-Y Club. The first and most important reason is that the club is to create, extend, and maintain throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Secondly, the club is on a national basis.Through this medium high school boys are given the opportunity to meet in fellowship with boys the same age all over the United State's. The club has been reorganized this year after being discontinued during the war period. It is under the able leadership of Harvey Swanberg, president; David Pudas, vice-president; and Donald Eostelny, secretary-treasurer. Mr. William Tonkin is the faculty adviser.
